This can be helpful for planning fall 2014 courses in D2L.
Training
D2L training is available through self-paced online modules, in-person training, and conversion labs.
Additionally, there are several D2L classes during the MSU Seminars in Research and Instructional Technology on May 6-7.
This may also be a good time for instructors to plan migration of ANGEL courses and groups into D2L. ANGEL will be retired on May 15, 2015.
